This press release is an announcement submitted by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and was not written by Diabetes Health.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is encouraging all Medicare beneficiaries to take advantage of the annual Open Enrollment period to make sure they have the best coverage available to meet their health care needs in 2011.
The Medicare Open Enrollment Period this year begins on November 15th and runs through December 31st. During the Open Enrollment period, current or newly eligible Medicare beneficiaries, including people with Original Medicare, can review current health and prescription drug coverage, compare health and drug plan options available in their area, and choose coverage that best meet their needs.
"The Affordable Care Act will make Medicare stronger and more sustainable. There will be new benefits available to nearly every person with Medicare starting in January 2011, including free annual wellness visits and free recommended preventive services like mammograms and colonoscopies. Seniors who fall into the donut hole in 2011 will be eligible for a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs. These new benefits make this year's Medicare Open Enrollment Period especially important," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Every year, the Medicare Open Enrollment Period gives Medicare beneficiaries a chance to evaluate their current plans and see what other options might be out there that serve their needs, especially if their health status has changed. Those enrolled in Medicare can think of the Open Enrollment Period as a yearly coverage "check-up." It is important for people with Medicare to look closely at their plan, look at the options available to them, consider their health status, and find what works for them."
"There's never been a better time for Medicare beneficiaries to check out their Medicare coverage," said CMS Administrator Donald Berwick, M.D. "With better plan choices available for 2011, Medicare beneficiaries can think of Open Enrollment as their yearly coverage 'check-up'."
"During Open Enrollment, AoA's national network of community-based organizations will work with seniors, individuals with disabilities and their caregivers across the country to help them understand the new benefits available under the Affordable Care Act," said Kathy Greenlee, Assistant Secretary for Aging. "In addition, we urge seniors to protect themselves from potential fraud and identity theft. We know there are people who use this time to scam seniors and rip off Medicare. Seniors should protect their Medicare number the same way they do their Social Security number or credit cards."
Resources for Medicare Beneficiaries
People with Medicare, their families and other trusted representatives can review and compare current plan coverage with new plan offerings, using many proven resources, including:
Medicare beneficiaries who cannot meet the costs of prescription drugs may be eligible for additional resources. Based on eligibility for "extra help," some people Medicare will pay no more than $2.50 for each generic drug and no more than $6.30 for each name brand drug. The program, called Medicare's Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition (NET) Program, can also help pay for premiums and other out-of-pocket costs.
There is no cost to apply for this extra help. Medicare beneficiaries, family members, trusted counselors or caregivers can apply online at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778) to find out more.
Protecting Against Fraud and Identity Theft
The new health care law also provides better tools to help fight waste, fraud and abuse to help protect Medicare. CMS offers tips to help beneficiaries protect themselves against fraud and identity theft during the Open Enrollment period. Medicare recommends that
people treat their Medicare number as they do their social security number and credit card information.

I had one of those days where I just didn't want any extra attention when out and about with my two babies and dd. Alas, it did not happen. My favorite of the day from a 60-70 year old "gentleman" : "Wow, someone sure had fun ". Nice, like dh and I had an extra crazy night the day our twins were conceived . Seriously, what is the response to that?!? I think I mumbled something about just getting lucky and then realized afterwards how that must have sounded!

Watt about Water?
Water uses energy. Energy uses water. The "water-energy nexus" — as it has come to be known — is one of the emerging hot topics when it comes to making homes greener and more resource-efficient. The Home Energy Saver does not currently provide recommendations for reducing water use, but it does help you understand where your water is currently going (see the Appliances drill-down report from the Compare > Summary page). The material on this page provides some more background and resources for you to keep in mind.
Water uses energy
The most tangible link is that when your water is heated, every drop contains a hidden "drop" of energy. Saving hot water translates directly into water-heating energy savings. Such savings are available at hot water taps, showers and tubs, as well as dish- and clotheswashing appliances. Evaporative coolers (aka "swamp coolers"), used in many parts of the country instead of air-conditioning, direclty consume very large amounts of water.
Less obvious, the production of water, followed by its treatment and distribution to your home, and, finally waste treatment all use substantial amounts of energy. Municipal water and wastewater systems consume about 4% of all electricity in the United States. According to the US EPA, this is enough electricity to power more than 5 million homes for an entire year. For an idea of what this means for an individual consumer, letting your faucet run for five minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb run for 14 hours.
So, saving water — hot or cold — has additional hidden energy benefits. While you are not billed, directly, for the energy used to provide your water if we all used it more efficiently then water companies' bills would go down and presumably their price to us would follow suit.
Energy uses water
It also takes water to make energy. Most of this has to do the water that traditional electric power plants boil to turn their turbines. To run power plants, large volumes of water are removed from rivers or oceans. Some of this is released into the local water body (often at higher temperature, which can have bad ecological consequences), and some is evaporated in enormous cloudlike plumes.
So, saving energy also reduces the amount of water that needs to be diverted through power plants and lost or degraded.

MARS User Guide at NSC
/!\ This page is under major revision.
Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System (MARS) is an archiving system for meteorological data developed at ECMWF and used at SMHI to archive both operational and research data. MARS accepts meteorological data in GRIB1, GRIB2 format and in principle BUFR and ODB. For further (somewhat outdated) reference, see the ECMWF documentation at ECMWF.
The SMHI MARS archive is accessible from all nodes on krypton, byvind and vagn after loading its module (see below). It will be soon available directly from SMHI computers through a proxy server.
For support please use email@example.com.
Before using MARS
First make sure you have all MARS components loaded by
module load mars/2.6
The latest version of the MARS client uses grib_api 1.11.0 to read/validate GRIB messages and emoslib 392 to manipulate/transform them (interpolate, crop, etc.). You also need to load the python module (currently 2.7.4-smhi1) which is used in various MARS subcomponents. If you did not load the grib_api, emos and python modules, the mars module will do it for you, making sure that the correct version of these libraries are used.
If it is the first time you are using MARS, you will need to generate a key (SSH key) to send to the MARS administrator when you apply for an account. This is described in the following section.
Getting an account
The first time you use one of the MARS components, a pair of SSH keys will be generated. The pair of keys is used for authentication on the MARS servers. Note that these are not the common SSH keys you may have in your ~/.ssh directory on krypton, but a separate pair used solely to contact MARS and stored in ~/.mars directory.
During the first attempt to contact MARS, you will get on-screen instructions on how to proceed to get an account on the MARS servers. Once you have an account, the next step is to create an "experiment id" (expid) to tag your data as being your data.
Note that if you have an account on the old mars1 and mars2 servers, you will have to go through the registration process again (new SSH keys will not be created but you will still have to contact us to get access to marsre and marsop.
Using MARS Operational production
On the server for operational data, marsop, one can only list or retrieve data, but not archive anything.
Available Operational Model
Currently, marsop contains the following datasets:
For general information on how to retrieve data from MARS read the ECMWF user guide: http://www.ecmwf.int/publications/manuals/mars/
A typical request to retrieve initial 2m temperatures at synoptic time 00/06/12/18 +00H for last summer (june-july-august 2013) would be:

[sm_sebvi@krypton ~]$ more list.out class=op,date=2013-06-01,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-02,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-03,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-04,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-05,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-06,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-07,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-08,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-09,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-10,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-11,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-12,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-13,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-14,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-15,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-16,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-17,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-18,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-19,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-20,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-21,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-22,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-23,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-24,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-25,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-26,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-27,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-28,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-29,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 class=op,date=2013-06-30,expver=c11a,levtype=hl,model=hirlam,month=201306,stream=oper,type=fc,year=2013 [sm_sebvi@krypton ~]$
Using MARS ResearchOn the server containing research data, marsre, users are allowed to archive their personal experiments, provided it is in GRIB format. We cover here, how to get one or more experiments IDs to "tag" your data as yours and how to preprocess your data so MARS understands it.
Getting an experiment ID
Since MARS does not store any ownership details within its database, an experiment id (expid), specified in the request through the "EXPVER" keyword, is used to distinguish between the data owned by different users. This experiment id is exactly 4 characters long and may consist of any combination of the digits 0-9 and the ASCII character set a-z (or A-Z, MARS does not make a distinction between upper and lower case). The experiment id's are stored in a separate database, called expid database and are used to genereate MARS permissions on the fly to protect your data.
There are few things especially noteworthy regarding the experiment id's:
Here are few examples on how to manage your expids:
The expid command is available to you once you loaded the MARS module.
Before archiving in marsre, you need to prepare your data so MARS understands it and decides where to keep it and how to organize it. To do so, you need to encode within the local section of your GRIB messages (octet 40-80 in section 1 for GRIB edition 1) a set of keys that MARS understands (CLASS, STREAM, TYPE, MODEL and EXPVER) and sometimes some extra ones (for the "MATCH" model for instance or for the stream "EXPR"). Here is a table with the MARS keywords that should be encoded in the GRIB local section:
Most of the keywords are self-explained.
adding local sections
The easiest way to add local sections in your GRIB files is to use grib_api:
grib_set -ssetLocalDefinition=82,localDefinitionNumber=82,class=RE,expver=MYID,type=FC,model=HIRLAM,stream=EXPR,expoffset=0 input.grb output.grbThis command reads GRIB messages from the file input.grb and writes them in output.grb, after including the local definition 82 of local centre 82. In details, "setLocalDefinition=82" refers to SMHI (with WMO CCCC code being "eswi"), "localDefinitionNumber=82" refers specifically to local definition 82 (within the range of local section defined by SMHI), and the other keywords are pretty self-explaining.
In practice, "setLocalDefinition" is usually set to 82 (at least for now) and "localDefinitionNumber" can be either 82 (all models but MATCH) or 83 (MATCH model). In the future, we will probably create new local sections needed to describe other type of data.
Note that the whole procedure assumes that your GRIB messages are encoded with centre=82 exclusively (maybe in the future, metcoop and harmonie centre will be added) and not centre=96 (old coding used at SMHI for hirlam data) or centre=98 (ecmwf). To set "centre" to 82 before including the local section, use:
grib_set -s centre=82 grib_without_centre_set_to_82.grb grib_with_centre_set_to_82.grbHowever, you need to be very careful with what you are doing. For instance, suppose you have a GRIB message from ECMWF (centre=98) containing temperature (coded with ECMWF definitions indicatorOfParameter=130, table2Version=128). If you simply set centre=82 without changing indicatorOfParameter and table2Version to SMHI definitions for temperature, you create a very confusing and dangerous situation because parameter 130 of table 128 at SMHI is undefined. In the worst case scenario, the parameter could be defined but to something completely different!
organizing GRIB messages for efficient archiving
MARS sorts and organizes data logically for efficient retrieving and compact storage. A typical model output is usually organized in files per steps per synoptic hours because the model usually writes data to disk as soon as a specific step is finished. However, common retrieving patterns are "all temperatures for all the steps of a specific day or month", or "pressure levels over a period of time", or "precipitations for a specific season", not "give me all the GRIB messages of a specific step from a specific synoptic hours". For this reason, MARS groups your data in a different way than you have it in files. Previously, this was sorted out by a tool called "himar.x" but now it is replaced by a set of grib_api tools.
It is maybe complicated at first, but in practice, it is rather simple. MARS uses a tree-branches-leaves scheme to organize GRIB files. The MARS keywords can either be the nodes of the branches or axis within the leaves.
If a MARS keyword is used as a node of the MARS tree, that keyword must have a unique value during archiving KEYWORD=VALUE (but you have total freedom during listing, staging or retrieving). MARS keywords that are always used as node are CLASS, STREAM, EXPVER, MODEL, TYPE, and LEVTYPE:
CLASS = op, STREAM = oper, EXPVER = a007, MODEL = hirlam, TYPE = fc, LEVTYPE = MSL,
If a MARS keyword is used within a MARS leaf (also called hypercube, because values of the leaf keywords become axis of a n-dimensional array or cube), several values of that keyword can be listed, separated by "/":
TIME = 00/06/12/18, # could be shortened with 00/TO/18/BY/6 STEP = 00/TO/48/BY/3, # this is equivalent to /00/03/06/.../42/45/48 LEVELIST = 01/TO/60/BY/1, # this equivalent to /01/02/.../59/60 PARAM = 11.1/91.1, # no compact way to specify parametersMARS keywords that are always hypercube axis are TIME, STEP, PARAM, and LEVELIST.
Currently, only the DATE keyword needs special attention. MARS uses the DATE keyword to extract the meta keywords YEAR, MONTH and DAY. If data is compacted by DAY, you can only archive one DATE at a time. If data is compacted by MONTH, you can archive several dates belonging to the same month. If data is compacted by YEAR, you can archive several dates belonging to the same year.
DATE = 20130903, # only one date: September 3rd 2013 ... DATE = 20130901/TO/20130930, # one month: September 2013 ... DATE = 20130101/TO/20131231, # one year: 2013How do you know if you can group data per DAY, MONTH or YEAR? Well there is no easy answer. A new tool will soon be available to do this for you.
If you decide to do things yourself, the easiest way to sort/group your GRIB messages is to use the grib_api tool called grib_filter:
grib_filter filter_rules in_grib_file.grb in_grib_file.grb ....grib_filter applies to each GRIB messages a set of rules described in an input file "filter_rules". Typical filter files can be found in /software/apps/mars_client/filter, covering the most common user cases. If you are dealing with unusual or more complex case, have a look at the official grib_api documentation or contact the mars support.
generating MARS archive requests
Once you have your GRIB files ready, you need to prepare your MARS requests. The easiest way to achieve this is to use the "grib2request" tool (provided by the mars module). grib2request does not actually produce a valid MARS request stricto sensu but will give you very good hints on what it should look like.
[sm_sebvi@krypton ~]$ grib2request Usage: grib2request -1 -fThe "-1" option is almost always needed. the "-f" is used to specify which file to process. What is left for you to do is to change "GRIB" for "ARCHIVE", and add the "TARGET" keyword . Save this (remove of course the last two lines starting with "grib2request - INFO") in a file called for instance "archive.request"
Using a compact tool to add local definitions, sort GRIB messages and create archive requests.
not available yet.
Once you have preprocessed your data, archiving is a pretty simple task:
mars archive.request
Removing data
It is not possible for a user to remove data from the data himself.
Retrieving EURO4M data
The Euro4M Reanalysis datatset is currently stored on marsre. You can use the following keyword to retrieve it:
Have a look at keywords tables at the bottom of this page if you wonder what is HL, ML, PL, etc. Don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com if you have any questions/requests regarding Euro4M dataset.
MARS from non-NSC sites (MISU, etc.)
For MARS to work the username supplied from the client must match that recorded on the server, meaning that from non-NSC sites you will have to supply your NSC username on the command line when the mars client is invoked.
Differences between MARS at ECMWF and SMHI/NSC
There are some syntax differences between ECMWF and SMHI/NSC on how a MARS request is written. These differences reflects the adaptation of the MARS system to SMHI needs in the form of new keywords or extra values for the existing keywords.
The main difference is probably the introduction of the MODEL keyword which does not exist at ECMWF but which is mandatory here at SMHI.
At ECMWF all surface data are archived as LEVTYPE=SFC. At SMHI, we don't group surface data into one single leveltype but keep a one-to-one relationship between GRIB code for leveltype and their labels.

Note from Senior Management:
Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.
It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.

All hail ash wood. hehe. but I a not getting the feel of a sequence in the second and third panel. maybe an additional inset panel or somethign might help. Definitely 5 stars stuff.
NEW SketchbooK
My Finished Paintings(TIGHTropE)
I like another comics page.
In your last work - this portrait it's to much dirty colors ... and nose is in diferent direction than eyes ...
I have serious problems regarding this comic thing. I am real tired of the story I have right now and have a new one. So I dont know which one to choose.
In the first one the main character meets up with his dad and the comic has about 5 pages in blue-ish b/w and a more light-effect-y style. In these pages The character gets alot of story to what has happened and who he is. His dad is someahat of a crook he finds out. N then the comic has a so n so ending, which I could change. Wont tell the end!
The new idea is that ya follow 2 people. Both of them are extremely lonersome and has never met another human being. So these two meet by sercomstance, and together they can overwin their problems. Another thing could be that they battle eachother and the reader get to roote for one of them. Cuz they are kind of opposites. Hector is a city man and is kinda reprecenting fire. The otherone lives out on a big sandy wasteland, has white hair and dark clothes. He is representative of wind.
Both ideas are kinda so n so. The second one seem like the more fun to draw alternative right now... But the first one is more worked through n stuff.
HELP! check the poll at the top of the page. take a fuckin stand man n VOTE! make a change...
Hey man gotta go with a mixture, how about as he is chasing his father, or trying to find him, he meets this opposite of his and they fight, and are really like equals, so both of them, beaten to a pulp by one another, find a new found friendship, or rivalry. The new guy agrees to help find the others father, who by what he knows of is still alive and running around the city.
Not sure what you think of this. The ending sentence kinda sucks, but you can figure the rest out or go with one of the other of your ideas.
Very nice style in here, great stuff
For your comic, i personally like your first version. It would be nice to get some background informations about hector, and the meeting with his father seems a good way to get this in. You don't have to make it that long, so you can have fun drawing other stuff after it. Just my opinion
Can't wait to see more of those pages, keep at it
A conceptlike thingy. This is kinda what the new guys house would be like.
Replies n stuff later.
you gon' get GOOD when you're older. this shit is bananas. need i explain the spelling? ussum.
You have a great handle on form, gesture and all but your digital applications don't retain too much quality. Work on your brushes (I'm sorry I don't have much experience on the computer). Best might be traditional experimentation.
Don't miss the rise
This is actually Wolverine's sketchbook
the second one for sure, it kinda cool ,and the action will keep you from getting bored. It'll be fun for the readers too.
NEW SketchbooK
My Finished Paintings(TIGHTropE)
I personally think the second idea sounds cool, two characters to develope, and that house is wicked! Kinda Mad Max feel you know?.. Anyways I don't think you should care about what anybody say, just goes with the one you think will be more fun. Or do both! Two 5-page stories?.... hehe
that picture where you used ref. is awesome! the nose is perhaps a bit crooked as someone mentioned earlier but damn nice. And perhaps try to experiment more with the different brushes! keep up the good work pidde
Just trying to keep this floating... update comin soon hopefully, I've started a new tactic whitch is workin on many pages at a time, so updates will be scattered.
Assoir - Thanks a bunch for your continous support man! N I hope you're right.
Listing - Thanks for coment n crit! Im planning to do more traditionals in the future, but I wont give up the digis, I'll be sure to try to improve the flow n such in 'em.
Bhanu - Yeah, I have gone for that one now. I think it was a good choise. I'll show stuff soon.
Sarcophagus - Yes, the second one it is. Good that ya like it!
Yes, I'll go over the nose again. Hmm, brushes is a mystery to me. I'll try!
Portrait revisited. What do ya think? My opinion is that the first one looks more raw. So I personally like the first one more. Wright sumthin.
Hm hard to say which one is greatest. One thing I do know is that the eyes are beautiful!
This last one is a keeper.
I found some really old Phil Hale stuff in a use magazine store. I'll try and remember to dig it up for you.
oops. I was looking at the first page when I posted that last comment. Anyway, I'll still try to dig up that old Phil Hale stuff. Great stuff on this page too though.
the last one is really cool and i like your monsters hrhr.
keep at it
Sarcophagus - Yeah, its up to me anyways, so I guess I'll just take whichever one I like the most! Har har! He looks more badass on the first one by me...
Ben Olson - Thanks for the drop by meng! Hey very glad ya like the stuff!
Them Hale pics sounds very very interesting, I find it hard to find his stuff. So that sounds terrific! Lookin forward to it. Seya 'round!
Haxxor - Thanks piles my man! I'll swing by soon.
Now for a lil' update. Its once again sumthin for the comic. I'll do 4 of these, futuring Hector carrying a dead Skull(oh YES, he is killed of on page 2. haha no one will care.) out from the city.
Wow man that is nice! it looks like hes going in to the city in the last picture though, but then it strikes me - perhaps it is his home.
duuuude, how's things?? Incredible effin' work. The last updates are very nice. I especially like the story telling on todyas update. Reminds me a bit more of comics like sandman.
Hey Orifice, these digital paintings are looking very solid. Very nice!

'Serious weaknesses' found at Hameldon College
5:00pm Thursday 5th December 2013 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
STAFF and governors at an embattled Burnley 'super school' have been told that it has 'serious weaknesses' and teaching standards require improvement.
But Hameldon College headteacher Gill Broom insists they are already taking 'decisive action' in response to a list of nine major faults identified by the education watchdog Ofsted.
An inspection conducted near the end of October has placed the Coal Clough Lane school has rated Hameldon as 'inadequate' — the third time in six years failings have been uncovered there.
The school was placed in special measures in February 2007 and it was given a 'notice to improve' in July 2011.
Lead inspector Mark Patton's verdict in 2013 is that student achievement is 'inadequate', as their maths skills are insufficiently developed and the most able students were not always being challenged.
He was also concerned about student behaviour and safety as student absence and exclusions were 'too high'.
Mr Patton said: "Students' achievement is inadequate because over time they do not make enough progress in mathematics. As a result, standards are not high enough in this key subject."
Ms Broom is 'disappointed' with Ofsted's findings, with the inspection team singling out some 'outstanding' teaching and acknowledging improving English results She said: "We're already taking decisive action to tackle the issues identified by Ofsted, and the inspectors recognised this when they came to visit us.
"Their rating is a disappointment, of course, but it is a snapshot of the situation now – not how it will be in the near future.
"The governors and I are confident that we will improve the quality of the college's teaching, and indeed we're already seeing strong results." The inspectors have said that the school needs to eliminate a 'very small amount' of inadequate teaching in maths and improve overall standards.
And staff have been asked to tackle truancy and unruly behaviour by drawing up more engaging lesson plans and working more closely with parents.
The school, formed in 2006 which opened with a reduced capacity of 750, now has around 340 students.

If you are thick, you will be thick.
The problem if you go to this school, is that you will still be thick when you leave.
And compared with the kids in South East Asia and China, you have no chance anyway.

Judging by some of the posters that come on these pages, particularly the sports section, there definitely appears to be an education problem in Burnley.

Legal Beagle says...
Most of the towns in East Lancashire are, like many other former industrial areas, well past their sell-by date. Its inhabitants have always been predominantly working class, but whereas that used to be a proud culture that valued hard work and education the work that sustained people has now disappeared, and the ethics have gone with it.
In its place is either employment by the state of one sort or another or a life spent on benefits. The traditional values of self-reliance, community and neighbourliness have gradually disappeared leaving huge numbers of people adrift and with little hope of any improvement in their life.
The situation's becoming worse with the minority of children that do receive a really good education often heading south - and who can blame them? If you're 21 with a good degree from a good university the prospects of earning a good living and bringing your children up in a comfortable and prosperous environment are sadly rather greater in Aylesbury than they are in Accrington.
It really is a great shame. The northern industrial towns used to be proud places with a lot of self-confidence - one only has to look at some of the fine buildings and parks that the Victorians produced. But nowadays many of the towns are like the majority of their inhabitants - existing on handouts from their southern neighbours. Their knowledge of this only adds to the general depressed air that many of them exude, and which makes them unattractive places to live and work. With a few notable exceptions it's really quite difficult to imagine how anyone who could afford to live in London or the south of England could nowadays be attracted to live in a northern town.
This isn't the fault of the people who live here, most of whom are perfectly decent, hard-working people. They're just a victim of economic forces, like the car workers of Detroit. But it's hard to see how the trend is ever going to be reversed, particularly now that young people are so mobile and family ties are so much looser.
Still, I suppose there's always fracking to save the day!

Somewhere around 1980 it became comprehensive and so began its intentional slide into tthe abyss. Sad and depressing but consistent with Burnley's decline from proud and vibrant town to wasteland.
The mismanagement of UKplc since WWII is criminal.

Goal: A piece of land shared by friends and neighbors for growing fruits and vegetables and providing opportunities for positive social interactions, recreation, and education.
Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle wishes to promote a place where community relationships may be built while offering fresh fruits and vegetables to the community. Community gardens provide access to traditional produce or nutritionally rich foods that may otherwise be unavailable to low-income families and individuals.
The new garden is opening soon, but lots of planning needs to be done before then! Locations, volunteers, tools and supplies, and utilities are just some of the things necessary to make a garden successful! If you have experience or interest in any area, please contact Debbie Reid at 817-360-1893 or email@example.com.
According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the "creation of or enhanced access to places for physical activity combined with informational outreach" produced a 48.4 percent increase in frequency of physical activity in addition to a 5.1 percent median increase in aerobic capacity, reduced body fat, weight loss, improved flexibility and increase in perceived energy.1
Increasing the consumption of fresh, local produce is one of the best ways to address childhood lead poisoning and exposure to chemical fertilizers and pesticides.2

The fan favorite from The Walking Dead comic book will be played by actress Danai Gurira (Treme) when the show returns for season 3 this October, and all props go to Entertainment Weekly for providing us with our very first taste of what this badass charater will look like.
In the comics Michonne is an unflinching warrior who proves to be powerful ally for Rick Grimes and the rest of the survivors. But how different will the onscreen version be? "The essence of the character — her personality, her motives, everything that makes Michonne Michonne — remains intact from the comics," says Kirkman, "but like a lot of things on the show, there will be little tweaks and differences here and there. We saw that her introduction is slightly different from how it was in the comic, and her interaction with Andrea is really going to be a really cool addition to the character that I think will get television viewers up-to-speed, and they'll get to know her a lot faster than comic book readers did."
As for why they cast the relatively unknown Danai Gurira for the pivotal role, Kirkman says, "We looked at a lot of talented people that were really fantastic, but we were waiting for that one spark, that moment where everyone was completely in agreement and completely excited, and we felt like we had found the essence of this fictional character that just randomly appeared in another person, and that person was Danai Gurira. She kind of came in and really just blew us all away. She's got incredible presence, and she's got a theater background, and is very physical, and was just perfect for the role."
Kirkman is equally enthusiastic about the big location setting for season 3, as Rick and company attempt to turn a prison into their new zombie-proof fortress. "It looks absolutely amazing," gushes Kirkman. "They are shooting the hell out of this prison. It just looks absolutely stunning, and I think when people start seeing trailers and stuff for this season, I think people are just gonna be like, "Wait, what? This is what? I can't believe this is a TV show!" It's really creepy, really moody and it's just gonna be really awesome."

Things in space can get far out — literally. But sometimes things get a little too close for comfort.
Thank goodness that's not the case with an asteroid the size of a cruise ship — 2012 DA14 — that Discovery News reports will safely bypass Earth on Feb. 15. But, and there IS a but ... in relative space distances, the asteroid is cutting it close — 17,200 miles from our planet or 1/13th the distance from the Earth to the moon, according to the report.
The asteroid is coming close enough that Earth's gravitational pull will affect its orbit around the sun, shortening it from 368 days to 317.
If something the size of Asteroid 2012 DA14 did hit Earth, it would cause crippling damage on a local scale. According to the report, it is believed the object that wiped out a region of forest in Tunguska, Siberia, in 1908 was the approximate size of 2012 DA14.
Scary stuff, huh? It gets a little scarier. The report says Earth will get hit by a large asteroid and, based on statistics, humans will be here to witness it. With that in mind, we move on to the top 10 ways to stop an asteroid.

Starter fertilizers and early-season nitrogen for wheat
To save time and cost, some wheat producers may be thinking about adding a little extra nitrogen (N) as urea or UAN to their phosphorus fertilizer through the drill with the seed. This would either be in addition to, or instead of, any preplant N applications.
While a minimum preplant N application of 20 to 40 lbs N per acre is often desirable, especially in no-till production systems, it is important to avoid placing urea containing fertilizers in direct seed contact. We suggest that NO urea or UAN solution be placed in contact with the seed. If the fertilizer N applied at seeding will be separated from seed by 1 inch or more, urea-containing fertilizers can be safely used.
Methods of early-season nitrogen applications
If the starter fertilizer can't be "spiked" with urea to add extra N, how can the necessary 20 to 40 pounds of N be applied? Subsurface banding (knifing) of N as either anhydrous ammonia, liquid UAN, or dry product will result in the greatest N use efficiency by the wheat crop. This is especially true for no-till wheat production.
If knifed N applications are not used, the next best application method would be surface banding (dribbling) of UAN solution in streams on 15- to 18-inch centers. Broadcasting urea, ammonium nitrate, or UAN applications are not generally as efficient as subsurface banding, but they are often the best choice due to equipment, logistics, or weed management considerations. Broadcast applications of N will have the most consistent performance if followed by light incorporation, precipitation, or irrigation.
Direct seed placement of nitrogen
When placing starter fertilizer in direct contact with wheat seed, producers should use the following guidelines:
Suggested Maximum Rates of Fertilizer to be Applied Directly With Wheat Seed
Pounds N + K2O (No urea or UAN)
Row Spacing
Medium to Fine
Textured Soils
Sandy or Dry
The problem with placing urea-containing fertilizer with the seed is that urea is initially converted to ammonia and may be toxic to plant roots if the wheat seed is placed in direct contact with the fertilizer. Producers may hear of someone who has placed urea in direct seed contact and seemed to have no problems, but there are also many cases where urea-containing N fertilizers has injured the developing seedling and reduced or delayed emergence significantly. The risk of injury is greater in drier soils, at higher soil pH levels, and at higher N rates. High soil pH favors a higher concentration of ammonia as compared to ammonium as urea hydrolyzes. There is significant risk associated with placing urea-containing fertilizers in direct seed contact.
The chart below shows how soil texture affected the level of wheat germination when urea-N was applied with the seed in a K-State greenhouse study. The wheat was well watered in this study, but urea-N placed with the seed still reduced germination, especially in the sandy soil. The readings shown below were taken after 10 days. With the high rates of urea used in this study, it is possible that more damage to the seedlings would occur with time as the urea continues to hydrolyze into ammonia.
click image to zoomDorivar Ruiz Diaz, K-State Research and ExtensionFigure 1. Greenhouse study evaluating the effect of urea placed with the seed on germination. Plant counts 10 days after planting. Air seeders that place the starter fertilizer and seed in a band an inch or two wide, rather than a narrow seed slot, provide some margin of safety because the concentration of the fertilizer and seed is lower in these diffuse bands. In this scenario, adding a little extra urea containing N fertilizers to the starter less likely to injure the seed - but it is still a risk.
Blending DAP or MAP with the seed
What about blending dry 18-46-0 (DAP) or 11-52-0 (MAP) directly with the seed in the hopper? Will the N in these products hurt the seed? The N in these fertilizer products is in the ammonium-N form, not the urea-N form, and is much less likely to injure the wheat seed, even though it is in direct seed contact. As for rates, guidelines provided in the table above should be used. If DAP or MAP is mixed with the seed, the mixture can safely be left in the seed hopper overnight without injuring the seed or gumming up the works.
Although the response of wheat to these starter fertilizer products is primarily from the P, the small amount of N that is present in DAP, MAP, or 10-34-0 may also be important in some cases. If no preplant N was applied, and the soil has little or no carryover N from the previous crop, then the N from these fertilizer products could benefit the wheat, in addition to the P.
Dual placement of N and P
Dual-placement of N and P (anhydrous ammonia or UAN plus 10-34-0 applied in the same band below the soil surface) is a fertilizer application method usually used in preplant applications. Ammonium-N has long been known to increase P uptake by crops, and dual-placement can be very effective. Sometimes, producers will use this method at planting time, trying to position the band to the side of each row of wheat seed. Use caution, however.
If adequate separation of fertilizer and seed is accomplished, this is a good method of application that fits into many farmers' overall no-till system. If adequate separation of the ammonia/UAN and seed is not accomplished, wheat germination/stand establishment can be severely affected.
